Vision- The Path of Life - revised

A few days ago I posted the vision I had about the "path of life." Part of the understanding I had was wrong and I apologize. I said, "Next, is the river and it is of God. Its the baptism of the Holy spirit. Sadly, many people stop at that point. They feel good because they chose to walk the path, but they don't want to continue because they are content with what they have. They are Comfortable. They might dip their toe in the water, but they won't dive in. Why would God put it there if it wasn't for us? Embrace it, and once you have it, cherish it. It shall teach you all things, and you will have no need of any man to teach you because it will lead you into all truth.
I have had visions and understandings before about the Holy spirit being a river and so without praying about it, I just wrote my previous understanding of what a river represented to me . The understanding I had originally is true in itself, however not true in this vision. The understandings in this vision represent not the steps in a Christian walk, but just the walk itself.
After reading Dave's comment on it, I began to pray about the vision and talked about it with a brother in the Lord and realized the river is a place of cleansing and rest. When people get to this point on their walk, its still true that a lot of them stop here because they are comfortable. They see the path continuing on the other side but they are content with what they have. They could decide to just sit in the water and let it carry them downstream to who knows what. They could even try to walk upstream. When a Christian gets to this point, they should use it for what its there for, and then move on in faith.
While praying and talking about it with the brother in the Lord, I had more understanding in the vision. The hills that were before me in the start of the vision represent trials. When I was in the forest there was a path to follow, and I could not see much beyond the forest. Now that I was out of the forest there was no path, but I would take each step with faith. I would acknowledge him in all my ways, and he would direct my path. (proverbs 3)
Another understanding I had was about the trials themselves. Going up the hill its a lot harder than going down. However when you are going up the hill and you slip, its easier to catch yourself because you have your hands to help you. When you reach the top, you could run down fast, but it would not be wise. If you slip when you are coming down the hill, its a lot easier to fall, and when you fall it is going to hurt a lot more because you probably would fall on your backside. The understanding the Lord gave me was, pride comes before the fall. We have to stay humble always, and acknowledge God in everything that we do.
I apologize again and I hope that the vision is clear now and that I didn't confuse anybody.

God Bless, chad
